Hi

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/50.83309/-0.14321

shows New England Road and Old Shoreham Road  Brighton.

The standard OSM render shows 12 rail lines bridged over the roads, 
could be read as there being 12 bridges.

Looking at aerials in JOSM looks like those 12 rail lines cross over 
using one bridge or perhaps even the road in a tunnel.

Mapillary detail not available, so in Google Street View there appears 
to be 3 bridges, an arched bridge at the east end with a light gap 
between it and the next bridge. This 2nd bridge is joined to the 3rd 
bridge with no light gap, the west most of the three bridges has support 
pillars, the central bridge doesn't.

Mapping this I think should be done as three bridges/areas using 
man_made=bridge with the railway as layer 1. But what are the other 
features to identify the arched and the bridge with support columns.

Thoughts on these railway bridges which are very common?

Regards
